Hi! I will share a simple/basic tips and tutorial how to create texture using Paint.Net. application. To those who are interested to use this application, you can download the software from paint.net and get the plugin tools from Paint.Net forum here plugin index.

I need a lil bit time to translate all my Paint.Net tips & tutorial from Malay to English version first (which I made for my IMVU groups). I will share it here soon. Meanwhile friends are very much welcome to share ideas, skill, techniques, tips, tutorials etc here.

First of all, credit to UnlikelyAngel1 from Paint.NET Tutorials group because I got the idea created eye textures using Paint.NET from her tips. And also credit to Keef, because I always used his tutorials as my references.

Required tools:-

Noise - Add Noise

Blur - Motion Blur

Distort - Polar Transformation

Eye Uvmap:-

1.Open Canvas 256 X 256 - white as a background (Fyi, the retina part of the eye is actually no pure white). Add new layer to create a horizontal thick lines (75pxl). Leave some space at the top. You can use uvmap to tweaked grid space that would be left. Here I'm using blue:-

*Ignore Malay language in the picture (I posted this tuts in Malay in my blog :p. But some of my post I'd wrote in English too)

2.On the 2nd layer with the blue grid used Add Noice (Effect>Noise>Add Noise) set the intensity & color saturation:-

11. You can adjust or add more effect. Add new layer, create a curved boundary at the center of the canvas. Filled dark color on the top of the canvas. Use Gaussian Blur effect to blend the curved boundary (Blur>Gaussian Blur (20 pxl))
